I-Dentity Near West Arts Collaborative is a resident-led arts organization dedicated to engaging residents of the Near West side of Indianapolis in the arts.  This year the organization is hosting its first annual arts festival, I-Dentity: Inclusive and Diverse, the event will bring artists and residents of Near West together for arts appreciation and community engagement.

The mission of both I-Dentity Near West Arts Collaborative and its inaugural arts festival, “Inclusive and Diverse” is to showcase assets located in the Near West geographical area of the city, while also giving visual, musical and performing artists an opportunity to gain recognition and support their trade.  Our organization promotes the unique arts culture in the Near West so that it may gain momentum and ultimately thrive in an area that has been largely devoid of major arts institutions and events. Our organization highlights the rich history, diverse culture and heartfelt hospitality of this Hoosier neighborhood.

They are inviting all artists, with a particular emphasis on showcasing Near West residents.
